Role

Chapter 19

Dear Biggest Brother,

Things have changed again like they always do. Mom and Dad gone, makes me feel a
lot older now. I can only imagine what it's like for you. I dunno if any of the
other sibs have offered a paw sorting through, but I'm here for you whenever you
want the help.

Things are quiet for me, mostly. Dargatha, my co-conspirator in the guild stuff
abandoned her post or passed on or something. I've had no word from her. Her
replacement in Galadon stepped up almost immediately, but I didnt have my paws in
that pie like I did with Dagdan. There is still more to do, and this newcomer, Ild
is a decent enough gal at least. I just can't abide the mage-hunting philosophy
she shares with her peers. So, I'll see what she does with her new guild. If I
like it, she can keep it, but if she does something stupid like give my husband too
much trouble, she's going to be my next target.

I write words like that and sound like a real crime boss. Yikes! Don't think of
me like that. I'm still working toward Dargatha's goal of uplifting the moral
station of my profession. And I have help, a great mouthpiece, Xalcorin, who's on
board with the whole changing perceptions thing. It's slow going. Daphedee said
this is something I'd be doing my whole life.

Enough about my business. Let's talk Vixe shop. How are the mines? Are the ships
on schedule? And how are you? You know I'm there if you need anything. Just write.

Love,
Renize
